Energy Absorption and Ballistic Impact Behaviour of Kevlar Woven Fabrics
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Kevlar-29 fibers are most widely used as an impact resistance in body Armor. This study deals with energy absorption behavior, ballistic limit, of Kevlar-29 / Epoxy, Nanoclaysclosite and PaspalumScrobiculatum of different weight percentage of matrix. To investigate these behaviors in composites, the laminates are made by using Compression moulding techniques. High velocity impact testing setup consists of a piston type air gun apparatus with a projectile of diameter of 9.5 mm and 8g has been used in the laminate with the same initial velocity for obtaining the residual velocity of the target. The results revealed that the addition of Paspalum scrobiculatum promotes maximum energy absorption in the laminates produced with 5% wt of matrix.
